    Annotation The purpose of the study was to establish macro- and morphometric parameters of cerebellum and cytoarchitectonics of its structures. Morphometric, anatomical-histological, and immunohistochemical studies of cerebellum of 116 human embryos and fetuses aged from 6–7 weeks up to 39–40 weeks were performed. There were no congenital anomalies of central nervous system. During intrauterine development, there is a tendency to gradually increase in thickness of cerebellum intermediate layer due to development of neuronal glial complexes. While ventricular layer is gradually thinned by reducing the intensity of neural cell proliferation. The highest intensity of neural cell proliferation in the embryonic period occurred in the ventricular and outer granular layers, and the lowest intensity – in the intermediate layer. In the radial direction, radial glia fibers passed through all cerebellum layers and ended in the outer granular layer.
